PART I
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
Business Overview
FreeButton, Inc. is a developer of Internet-based, immersive advertising and marketing solutions for businesses.
We operate VideoStakes.com, a b2b and b2c consumer engagement and social sharing platform, which incentivizes Internet users with prizes to engage in brand video content and share it though social networks.
Additionally, we offer digital and internet consulting services assisting customers in optimizing content. We specialize in search engine marketing and optimization, display advertising, social media marketing, affiliate programs and networks, site optimization, email programs and analytics.
Corporate History
We were incorporated on November 27, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada and extra-provincially registered under the laws of the Province of Ontario on February 2, 2007. Upon the consummation of a change of control as described below, we ceased our business of offering our window blind system products, and we now operate the business of Internet-based, immersive advertising and marketing solutions for businesses. According to the filings it made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), our predecessor, Secure Window Blinds, Inc. never generated revenue and was a shell company.
Recent Developments
Change of Control
On August 2, 2012, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, Anthony Pizzacalla, a former stockholder of the Company, James Edward Lynch, Jr. and Dallas James Steinberger pursuant to which Mr. Pizzacalla sold to Messrs. Lynch and Steinberger an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which constituted 94% of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock, in exchange for payment by Messrs. Lynch and Steinberger in an amount of $10,000. Under the Agreement, Mr. Lynch and Mr. Steinberger each purchased 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.
Name Change and Symbol Change
On September 6, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “First Amendment”) to change our name from “Secure Window Blinds, Inc.” to “The Free Button, Inc.” On September 11, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction to the First Amendment (the “Corrected Amendment”) to correct its name from “The Free Button, Inc.” to “FreeButton, Inc.” (the “Name Change”). The Corrected Amendment took effect as of September 11, 2012.
On September 24, 2012, the Company received approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for its name change and forward split, as further described below. In connection with the name change, the Company changed its trading symbol from “SCWB” to “FBTN” (the “Symbol Change”). The Name Change and Symbol Change were announced on September 28, 2012.
Forward Split
On September 26, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a 15-to-1 forward split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares (the “Forward Split”). We received approval of the Forward Split from FINRA on September 24, 2012 and the Forward Split was announced on September 25, 2012.

How We Generate Revenue
We have just started to generate revenue via our VidoeStakes.com platform. We plan to generate revenue through partner engagement programs and expect to utilize the additional revenue sources to grow marketing and awareness. We generated $5,000.00 of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 via a test on VideoStakes and plan continue to market this product for fee-based usage.
We previously operated an additional website, www.freebutton.com which we ceased operating on November 15, 2013. In connection with the operation of Freebutton.com, we donated $0.01 per user attempt to a charitable organization. In total, we donated approximately $500.00 to the Mauli Ola Foundation.
As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 1, 2013, On July 11, 2013, we entered into an Assets and Business Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Media Rhythm Group, Inc. (“Media Rhythm”) to acquire all of the assets in connection to the business of Media Rhythm (the “Assets”).
Media Rhythm operates a marketing and advertising business that primarily caters to sports media such as magazines and websites. James Lynch, President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and Director of the Company, is President and the sole shareholder of Media Rhythm.
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company purchased the Assets for $420,000 (the “Purchase Price”), and in return, issued a promissory note dated July 11, 2013 to Media Rhythm with the principal amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “Note”). Under the Note, the Purchase Price shall be paid by the Company to Media Rhythm in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments commencing on August 1, 2013. The Note shall bear no interest. The Company may at any time prepay all or part of the unpaid principal of the Note. The Company’s payment obligation may become accelerated upon certain events of default, including failure to make past due payment within ten (10) days of a written notice from the holder, failure to cure any involuntary insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding within ninety (90) days of the commencement of such proceeding, and filing of any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Media Rhythm is entitled to the right of setoff against all or part of the unpaid and past due payments under the Note or the Acquisition Agreement.

The foregoing description of the acquisition of the Assets does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Acquisition Agreement and the Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Subsequently, and as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 28, 2014, on March 5, 2014, the Company and Media Rhythm entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Second Agreement”), whereby the Company sold, transferred and assigned to Media Rhythm all of the assets, rights and interests owned by the Company related to its marketing and advertising business that primarily caters to sports media such as magazines and websites, including all business names, trade names, logos, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property related thereto (the “Media Assets”). In consideration of the Company’s sale of the Media Assets, Media Rhythm executed and delivered to the Company a Cancellation and Termination of Promissory Note (the “Note Cancellation”), thereby relieving the Company of all obligations pursuant to the Promissory Note issued by the Company on July 11, 2013 in the principal amount of $420,000. The foregoing description of the disposition of the Media Assets does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Agreement and Note Cancellation, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Competition
Our business is in the industry of online sweepstakes and eCommerce. This industry is very competitive and rapidly evolving. We position ourselves as an engagement and social sharing platform for VideoStakes.com. We compete for users with numerous enter-and-win and sweepstakes sites and we also compete for product manufactures with other types of websites where our partner companies advertise their products.
We believe that we will enjoy the following competitive advantages:
VideoStakes.com provides brands with a tool to engage users and incentivize them to share the brand content via their social networks. The product showed strong analytical results in the fourth quarter 2013 test.
Our advertising programs. We believe our clean and user-friendly websites give us an advantage over certain, more complicated enter-and-win sites.
Our consulting services offer clients additional benefits to our web related products.
Our Marketing Strategy
We currently market through a number of channels to promote our non-enter-to-win model and enhance the clean and user-friendly image of our websites and have plans to market through additional channels as further described below.
Directory Websites
We market our websites by listing our giveaways on aggregator websites, such as giveawayscoop.com and emperola.com., where giveaway items and websites are gathered to provide visitors with one-stop information. The listings of our giveaways on aggregator websites are made on both free and paid basis.
Industry Blogs
We plan to identify and strategize to promote and market our websites on certain blogs.
Organic SEO
We plan to utilize our knowledge accumulated from communicating with directory websites and blogging communities to select effective keywords and use pay-per-click (PPC) to have the selected keywords work in our favor to gain traffic.
3 |
Partner Companies
We plan to work with our partner companies to promote our websites through their social media outlets. We plan to make template plans that our partner companies can implement to help drive traffic to our websites.
Social Media
We plan to form marketing strategies to be implemented on social media platforms.
Traditional Advertising in Niche Genre
We plan to use traditional advertising such as print, online and event sponsorship in specific market genres to promote specific giveaways.
Causal Co-Marketing
We plan to partner with charitable organizations to make donations to create additional incentives for users to participate in our sweepstakes.
Our Customers
We consider our customers to be partner companies interested in digital marketing online including enhancing user engagement in partner video content and the social sharing of that content. We are focused on the action and adventure sports brand space and the consumer electronic space which have numerous brands seeking these marketing goals.
Legal Environment
We are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, many of which are still evolving and being litigated in the courts, and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. These laws and regulations may involve user privacy, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, taxation and online payment services. The application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the rapidly evolving industry in which we operate.
We are also subject to federal laws and regulations regarding privacy and the protection of user data, including The Communications Decency Act of 1996, The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, among others. Many states have passed laws requiring notification to users when there is a security breach for personal data or the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to implement. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation. Any failure by us to comply with privacy related laws and regulations or our privacy policy, could expose us to costly or time-consuming proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our users’ privacy and data could result in loss of user confidence in our product and services and ultimately in a loss of subscribers, which could adversely affect our business.
There are a number of legislative proposals before Congress and various state legislatures regarding privacy issues related to the Internet generally. We are unable to determine if and when such legislation may be adopted. If certain proposals were to be adopted, it could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, rising concern about the use of social networking technologies for illegal conduct may in the future produce legislation or other governmental action that could require changes to our product or restrict or impose additional costs upon the conduct of our business. These regulatory and legislative developments, including excessive taxation, may prevent or significantly limit our ability to expand our business.
Patent and Trademarks
To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of confidentiality agreements and other contractual rights. At this time, we do not have any trademarks or patents related to our current business.
Employees
As of December 2013, we had two employees both of whom are employed on a full-time basis.

Plan of Operations
During the next 12 months we plan to operate and further market our engagement and social sharing website tool, VideoStakes.com as well as operate and further market out digital consulting group via our corporate website FreeButtonInc.com.
Our President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, James Lynch, builds partnerships with consumer products manufacturers, drives sales, and performs other functions of an executive, managerial or administrative nature.
Our Chief Operating Officer, Dallas Steinberger, is responsible for our website construction and assists with marketing and generating traffic to our websites.
Going Concern
Our auditor has indicated in their reports on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations, deficit in equity, and the need to raise additional capital to fund operations. A “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013 compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012
Revenue. We generated $5,000 or revenue during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and no revenue during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Operating Expenses. Total expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 were $312,631 resulting in an operating loss for the fiscal year of $307,631 as compared to total expenses of $122,973 resulting in an operating loss of $122,973 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The operating loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 is a result of office and general expenses in the amount of $94,182, management fee of $132,500, marketing expenses of $29,119 and professional fees in the amount of $56,830 as compared to office and general expenses in the amount of $29,218, management fee of $45,000, marketing expenses of $10,884 and professional fees in the amount of $37,871 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in office and general expenses from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 was due to expenses related to servicing our former website FreeButton.com and constructing, launching, testing and operating VideoStakes.com. The increase in management fees from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 described above was due to the increased management time needed to manage the acquisition of the Assets from Media Rhythm and the and negotiation of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, dated October 22, 2013, by and among the Company, James Lynch, Dallas James Steinberger and Rivalfly National Network, LLC, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $23,014 compared to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, in the amount of $3,768. Interest expense principally consists of interest on the convertible promissory notes issued by the Company as previously discussed in our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013. Discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $3,818 compared to discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, in the amount of $0. Discontinued operations primarily consisted of gain from the operations of Media Rhythm, the Assets of which were sold on March 5, 2014, as discussed in Item 1 – Business” above and Note 7 to the Financial Statements filed herewith.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2013, we had $85,906 of cash compared to $21,674 of cash for the year ended December 31, 2012. We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from financing activities will be insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months. To date the Company has generated only $5,000 of revenue from its business operations and has incurred operating losses since inception of $528,051. As at December 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $340,325.
The Company requires additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses. Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
We expect to incur marketing and professional and administrative expenses as well expenses associated with maintaining our filings with the Commission. We will require additional funds during this time and will seek to raise the necessary additional capital. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of equity or debt financing and advances from related parties.
In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any inability to raise capital as needed would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we cannot raise additional funds, we will have to cease business operations. As a result, investors in the Company’s common stock would lose all of their investment.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements currently contemplated by management or in place that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the business, financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures and/or capital resources.

ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
None.
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2013. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Based on the evaluation as of December 31, 2013, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, and based on that evaluation they concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that re-evaluation due to material weakness identified below, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, because of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control our financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, the Company determined that the following items constituted a material weakness:
· | The Company does not have an independent audit committee in place, which would provide oversight of the Company’s officers, operations and financial reporting function; |
· | The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures do not provide adequate segregation of duties; and |
· | The Company does not have effective controls over period-end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
9 |
Our management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the last two items listed above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully-functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013.

(1) Mr. Lynch was appointed as President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary and a director of the Company on August 2, 2012, upon the closing of the change of control as further described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2) Mr. Steinberger was appointed as Vice President and Treasury and a director of the Company on August 2, 2012, upon the closing of the change of control as further described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
James Edward Lynch, Jr.
Mr. Lynch has 17 years business and managerial experience in advertising and media industry. In November 2009, James launched a boutique sales and consulting firm, Media Rhythm, representing various media properties including over 30 magazines (Surfer, Motor Trend, Surfing, Automobile, Hot Rod, Powder, Snowboarder, Alert Diver, Shutterbug, just to name a few), 30 websites, and 20 sponsor-able events. This firm also operates as an apparel sales rep firm and consulting group.

Throughout his career, Mr. Lynch has created and implemented integrated advertising and marketing programs in online, print, and event media properties.
The Board considers Mr. Lynch’s experience in advertising and media industry and skills in management, strategy and implementation qualify him to serve as a member of the Board.
As discussed above in “Item 1 – Business” previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 1, 2013, on July 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Assets and Business Acquisition Agreement with Media Rhythm to acquire all of the assets in connection with the business of Media Rhythm and, subsequently, on March 5, 2014, the Company and Media Rhythm entered into the Second Agreement, whereby the Company sold, transferred and assigned to Media Rhythm all of the Media Assets.

Dallas James Steinberger
Mr. Steinberger has been involved in online business for the last ten years, from online brand development, marketing and social networking to coding, design and implementation of multiple sites. He has been an independent web design studio owner and managed the online presence for Action Sports Group, a major publisher of action sports magazines. From 2008 to 2011 while working at Action Sports Group as the Senior Web Producer, he managed the content creation and online publishing schedule for ten magazine sites including Surfermag.com, Powdermag.com and Bikemag.com. From 2008 to 2011 he also worked for Source Interlink Media as a Digital Content Manager. From 2011 to 2012 he worked for Apple, Inc. as a retail sales person.
The Board considers Mr. Steinberger’s experience in online marketing qualifies him to serve as a member of the Board.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until their resignation or removal by the Board.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lynch and Mr. Steinberger and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Lynch and Mr. Steinberger were selected as a director or executive officer.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.
Other Directorships
Other than as disclosed above, during the last 5 years, none of our directors held any other directorships in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Involvement in Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, there have been no material legal proceedings during the last ten years that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our directors or executive officers.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
We are not aware of any current or potential conflicts of interest with our director or executive officers.
Board Committees
We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and are required to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on our review of the reports filed with the SEC, we believe that all persons subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act timely filed all required reports in 2013.
Code of Ethics
We currently do not have a code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, however, we are in the process of formulating a code of ethics and intend to adopt one in the near future.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

ITEM 12. | SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS |
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our voting securities by (i) each director and named executive officer, (ii) all executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each shareholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of April 11, 2014.

The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each person listed in the table below is c/o 545 Second Street #6, Encinitas, CA 92024.
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner | Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership Common Stock (1) | |||

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. |
Transactions with Related Persons
The following sets forth a summary of transactions since the beginning of the fiscal year of 2013, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation” above). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.
· | As discussed above in “Item 1 –Business” previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 1, 2013 and March 28, 2014, respectively, on July 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Assets and Business Acquisition Agreement with Media Rhythm to acquire all of the assets in connection with the business of Media Rhythm and, subsequently, on March 5, 2014, the Company and Media Rhythm entered into the Second Agreement, whereby the Company sold, transferred and assigned to Media Rhythm all of the Media Assets. |
· | At December 31, 2012, loan from our director and President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, James Edward Lynch, Jr., to the Company, amounted to $4,072. The loan is unsecured and non- interest-bearing with no set terms of repayment. |
· | During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Company paid a total of $45,000 of management fees to two officers James Edward Lynch, Jr. and Dallas James Steinberger. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid a total of $132,500 of management fees to two officers James Edward Lynch, Jr. and Dallas James Steinberger. |
· | On June 26, 2012, our former President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, Anthony Pizzacalla, forgave the debts owed to him by the Company in an amount of $54,742. |

Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
We expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” will be a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at the year-end for 2011 and 2010. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person will not be covered by this policy. A related person will be any executive officer, director or a holder of more than five percent of our common stock, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.
We anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board) for consideration and approval or ratification. Management’s presentation will be expected to include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available.
To identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant shareholders. In considering related-person transactions, our Board will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:
· | the risks, costs and benefits to us; |
· | the effect on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated; |
· | the terms of the transaction; |
· | the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and |
· | the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from our employees generally. |
We also expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the interested director is involved.
Director Independence
James Edward Lynch, Jr. and Dallas James Steinberger, the members of our Board, are not independent using the definition of independence under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards and the standards established by the Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Freebutton Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Freebutton, Inc. (A Development Stage “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from November 27, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Freebutton, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from November 27, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2013 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AUDITED)
DECEMBER 31, 2013 |
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
FreeButton, Inc. (the “Company” or “FreeButton”) was incorporated on November 27, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada and extra-provincially registered under the laws of the Province of Ontario on February 2, 2007. On September 28, 2012, the Company with a majority of the shareholders and directors changed its name from Secured Window Blinds, Inc. to FreeButton, Inc.
FreeButton, Inc. has ceased the business of offering window blind system products and now intends to operate, through “TheFreeButton.com”, as an instant-win promotion online site where users can click the “Free Button” to instantly win the products offered on the Company’s homepage without entering their email.
Going concern
To date the Company has generated $5,000 in revenue from its business operations and has incurred operating losses since inception of $528,051. As at December 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficit of $340,325. The Company requires additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of private placements and advances from related parties as may be required. As of December 31, 2013 the Company has issued 150,000,000 shares founders shares at $0.0000667 per share for net proceeds of $10,000 to the Company and 9,300,000 shares private placement shares at $0.001666 per share for net proceeds of $15,500 and 500,000 shares private placement shares at $0.25 per share for net proceeds of $125,000 to the Company. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Segmented Reporting
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, changed the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services the entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers.
Comprehensive Loss
FASB Statement No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2013, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments
All significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practical the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Office equipment | 5 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. Accumulated depreciation to date on office equipment is $1,121.
Website Development Costs/Domain Names
The Company accounts for its Development Costs in accordance with FASB ASC-350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs.” The Company’s website comprises multiple features and offerings that are currently developed with on-going refinements. In connection with the development of its products, the Company has incurred external costs for hardware, software, and consulting services, and internal costs for payroll and related expenses of its technology directly involved in the development. All hardware costs are capitalized as fixed assets. Purchased software will be capitalized in accordance with FASB ASC 350-50-25 related to accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. All other costs are reviewed to determine whether they should be capitalized or expensed.
Pursuant to FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” the Company periodically evaluates, at least annually, whether facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its depreciable assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. Domain names are generally not amortized. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the long-lived asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. In the event that the carrying amount of long-lived assets exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, then the carrying amount of such assets is adjusted to their fair value. The Company reports an impairment cost as a charge to operations at the time it is recognized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and domain names and website development costs are reviewed for impairment when recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expecting an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of commissions earned for the sale of magazine advertisement, on-line advertisement and event sponsorship. Revenue is recognized at the time the advertising becomes publicly available or upon occurrence of the sponsored event.
Loss per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potential dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only on the basic loss per share.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718-10, "Stock Compensation", which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. On February 25, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a new equity incentive award plan, named the FreeButton, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which has been approved by a majority, or approximately 65% of outstanding shareholders of the Company on February 25, 2013. The new plan is an “omnibus plan” under which stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, restricted stock and restricted stock units can be awarded. The 2013 Plan’s initial share reservation will be 3,500,000 shares. The term of the plan is for 10 years from the date of its adoption. As of December 31, 2013 the Company had issued 7,000 common shares.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had approximately $110,992 and $40,859 of federal and state net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2026. The provision for income taxes consisted of the following components for the years ended December 31:
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31:
December 31 | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 112,839 | $ | 40,859 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (112,839 | ) | (40,859 | ) | ||||
Total deferred tax assets | $ | – | $ | – |
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $114,389 and $40,859 respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and recorded a full valuation allowance.
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at December 31:
2013 & 2012 | ||||
Federal statutory tax rate | (35.0%) | |||
Permanent difference and other | 35.0% |
